TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel pyrazole compound having an excellent inhibitory effect on protein kinases, in particular, JNK c-Jun amino-terminal kinase.

PRIOR ART

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (hereinafter, referred to as “MAPK”) signaling cascades are generally found in from yeast to human, and play a very important role in intracellular signal transduction pathways. As MAPK-related kinases in mammalian cells, in particular, three kinds of kinases are well known: extracellular signal-regulation kinase (ERK), p38 and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK; or also called as SAPK (=stress-activated protein kinase)). SAPK is a homologue of JNK found in rat, and its isoform group is known to have amino acid sequences of 90% or more homologous to the corresponding isoform group of JNK (Nature, 369, 156, 1994). In recent years, a number of activators involved with MAPK have been identified, which have demonstrated that pathways respectively activating ERK, p38 and JNK have different roles in terms of function. In particular, the JNK pathway is considered to be one of valuable intracellular signaling pathways from medical and pharmaceutical viewpoints because of the following reasons. JNK is activated, for example, by cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) or interleukin-1 (IL-1), or cell stresses such as heat shock, ultraviolet ray (UV), X-ray and the like, and is considered to be an important signal transduction pathway inducing not only cellular proliferation and differentiation but also apoptosis (cell death) [Science, 270, 1326, 1995.] JNK was initially discovered as a protein which phosphorylates Ser63 and Ser73 located at N-terminal of c-Jun (Nature, 353, 670, 1991), however, at present, JNK is known to phosphorylate a number of transcription factors such as ATF-2 and Elk-1 and regulate their activities (EMBO J., 15, 2760, 1996.) There are three kinds of JNKs: JNK1, JNK2 and JNK3. While JNK1 and JNK2 are expressed in most of tissues, JNK3 is expressed at high level especially in brain (Neuron, 14, 67, 1995; Neuron, 22, 667, 1999.) Analysis of JNK1 or JNK2 knockout mouse demonstrated that these JNKs have an important role in differentiation and activation of T cell (J. Exp. Med., 193, 317, 2001). Also, analysis of JNK1 knockout mouse suggested the importance of JNK1 in onset of metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance caused by obesity and type II diabetes (Nature, 420, 333, 2002). On the other hand, other report described that JNK3 knockout mouse showed resistance against seizure induced by kainic acid which is an excitatory amino acid receptor agonist, and that the apoptosis which would be observed subsequently in hippocampal neurons in normal mouse was not observed while in JNK3 knockout mouse (Nature 389, 865, 1997.) Since previous research using cultured neurons has proved the necessity of phosphorylation of c-Jun for induction of apoptosis by removal of neurotrophic factor (Neuron 14, 927, 1995; J. Neurosci. 18, 751, 1998), JNK seems to play an important role in inducing apoptosis of neurons. As for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease, importance of apoptosis in the process of neurodegeneration has been noticed (Nature 407, 802, 2000), and investigation using model animals of these diseases (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 98, 10433, 2001; J. Neurosci. 22, 3376, 2002) and analysis using postmortem brain of patient (Neuron, 14, 67, 1995; J. Neurochem., 76, 435, 2001) have accumulated the results suggesting the possibility of involvement of JNK in neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

The following are known reports with regard to substances of low molecular weight having JNK inhibitory effect.

On the other hand, compounds having pyrazole skeleton are found only in the report below.

-   (12) Compounds represented by the formula (I¹²) having JNK     inhibitory effect and the compound represented by the formula     (I^(12a)) as a concrete embodiment (WO02/10137).

As described above, JNK pathway is noticed as one of important mechanisms involved in activation of various cells and regulation of immuno cells by cytokines, or in apoptosis of neurons induced by various kinds of stress signals. Therefore, compounds having inhibitory effect on JNK pathway, especially on JNK protein kinase can be expected to be useful as therapeutic drugs for a variety of immunological diseases, inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases. On the other hand, ERK which belongs to MAPK to which JNK also belongs is known to play an important role in signal transduction of growth factors and neurotrophic factors, and especially in neurons, ERK is deeply concerned with survival and maintenance of neurons accomplished by neurotrophic factors such as Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the like (Science, 286, 1358, 1999; J. Neurosci., 20, 5775, 2000.) This suggests the possibility of the ERK inhibitory effect to cancel out the useful effect which the compounds having inhibitory effect on JNK protein kinase a reliable to exhibit, e.g., protective effect on neurons, so that a need for discovery of JNK-selective compounds not having ERK inhibitory effect exists. However, such excellent compounds having selective inhibitory effect on JNK protein kinase, while satisfying the points of pharmacological effect, dosage, safety and the like required for pharmaceutics have not been found yet.

The R¹ which may be introduced by coupling reaction has the same meaning as defined above, and the case where h=j=0 is preferred. Compound 8 wherein an aromatic ring is directly bonded to 3-position of pyrazole can be produced by Suzuki coupling with aryl boronic acid or by Stille reaction with aryl trialkyl tin or the like. Furthermore, in particular, compound 8 having styrene (h=j=0, k=1) at 3-position can also be produced by coupling based on Heck reaction in which styrene is reacted on compound 7, besides the Suzuki coupling.

Aromatic olefins used for Heck reaction and aryl boronic acids used for Suzuki coupling are commercially available, or may readily be prepared in a conventional manner if not commercially available. Aryl boronic acid can be prepared by converting a halogenoaryl into an aryl lithium or metal halogenoaryl with the use of a alkyl lithium, magnesium, zinc and the like, and letting the aryl lithium or metal halogenoaryl react with a trialkyl borate to render it a boric acid ester, followed by hydrolysis. Examples of the alkyl lithium include N-butyllithium, sec-butyllithium, tert-butyllithium, phenyl lithium and the like, and additives such as N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine or hexamethylphosphoramide may be added as is necessary. The hydrolysis following the reaction between aryl lithium and trialkyl borate to obtain ester borate may be carried out by adding water, or by using an acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid. As the solvent, any solvents can be used insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, and preferred examples of such solvent include, but are not limited to, ether solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or dimethoxyethane. The reaction temperature is from −78° C. to room temperature. Aromatic olefins can be prepared by letting an aryl aldehyde and methylphosphonium ylide react with each other. For example, methyltriphenylphosphonium salt is treated with a base to make it methylphophonium ylide, which is then reacted with an aryl aldehyde in the same system, to thereby produce aromatic olefins. Examples of the base include potassium tert-butoxide, sodium methoxide, sodium hydride, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and the like. Examples of the solvent include, but are not limited to, ether solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, hydrocarbon halides such as dichloromethane, chloroform, as well as toluene and the like. The reaction temperature is from −20° C. to reflux temperature of the solvent.

The reaction temperature is usually from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent.

Deprotection of a tert-butoxycarbonyl group and a trityl group can be readily achieved by acid. Examples of the acid include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, trifluoroacetic acid and the like. As is necessary, radical scavengers such as thiophenol or tri-iso-propylsilane may be added. As the solvent, any solvents can be used insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, and examples of such solvent include, but are not limited to, hydrocarbon halides such as dichloromethane or chloroform, alcohol solvents such as methanol or ethanol, as well as anisole and the like.

As the solvent, any solvents can be used insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, and examples of such solvent include, but are not limited to, alcohol solvents such as methanol or ethanol, ether solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or dimethoxyethane. The reaction temperature is room temperature or reflux temperature of the solvent. Deprotection of the methoxymethyl group is generally achieved by acid treatment, however, when an aminal which is incompletely-deprotected by acid treatment remains, treatment with ammonia water is carried out to achieve the deprotection. Production Method 4

Compound (I) can be produced in the following manner: oxidation of an alcohol which is obtained by metallizing α-position adjoining to the amino group suitably protected by treating compound 9 with a base and nucleophilically adding to analdehyde, and deprotection of the amino group are successively conducted to thereby obtain aminoketone 10; and then aminoketone 10 is diazotizated and reduced so as to be closed into a pyrazole.

As the protective group for amino group, any groups may be used insofar as they are base-resistant, and preferred examples of such protective group include, but are not limited to, a tert-butoxycarbonyl group, benzyloxycarbonyl group, methoxymethyl group and the like. Conversion of compound 9 into a metal aryl is basically conducted in the manner as described in production method 1, however, in this case 2 or more equivalents of base is required. Oxidation of alcohol can be achieved in the manner as described in Production method 1. Deprotection of amino group from tert-butoxycarbonyl group, benzyloxycarbonyl group, methoxymethyl group and the like can be readily achieved by acid treatment. The acid to be used is as same as those recited in Production method 3, and as for the benzyloxycarbonyl group and the like, for example, may be deprotected under the condition of catalytic reduction or the like.

In the case where compound 10 cannot be derived directly from compound 9 for such a reason that aromatic aldehyde is relatively difficult to avail, the ortho position of the protected amino group is formylated to obtain 11, to which a metal aryl, a metal halogenoaryl or the like is nucleophilically added, followed by deprotection of amino group, to thereby obtain compound 10. The condition for formylation is as described in Production method 2.

Conversion of compound 10 into diazonium salt is achieved by letting nitrite esters such as sodium nitrite ester or isoamyl nitrite ester act in the presence of acid. As the reaction solvent, for example, alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol, water and the like are used, as the acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid and the like can be used. The reaction temperature is usually around 0° C.

Reduction of diazonium salt and subsequent ring closing of indazole ring are achieved by letting tin chloride (II), copper chloride (II) or the like reducing agent act in the presence of acid, to thereby obtain hydrazine which is an intermediate, and the use amounts of these are usually from 1 to 10 equivalent(s) with respect the starting material. Generally, compound (I) is obtained as a result of spontaneous ring closing associated with dehydration within the system. As the reaction solvent, for example, alcohol solvents such as methanol or ethanol, as well as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid and the like can be used. The reaction temperature is usually from 0° C. to reflux temperature of the solvent.

As an alternative method, an amino group is substituted with a suitable halogen atom to make compound 3, which is then made cyclic in the manner as described in Production method 1 using hydrazine, thereby obtaining compound (I). Preferred example of the halogen atom is, but are not limited to, a fluorine atom. As a concrete method, Baltz-Schiemann reaction can be recited, and by conducting this reaction, it is possible to derive fluoro ketone 3. Baltz-Schiemann reaction is achieved in the following manner: a nitrite ester such as sodium nitrite ester or isoamyl nitrite ester is caused to act on compound 10 in the presence of tetrafluoroboric acid so as to convert compound 10 into a diazonium tetrafluoroborate salt, followed by thermal decomposition or photodegradation. The nitrite ester or nitrite salt used for diazotization is usually in the amount of from 1 to 2 equivalent(s) with respect to the material, and the reaction temperature is preferably and usually 0° C. or less. Besides tetrafluoroboric acid, hexafluorophosphoric acid, hexafluorosilicic acid, hexafluoroantimonic acid and the like may be used. After separating the azonium salt, the thermal decomposition may be achieved by dilution in barium sulfate, barium fluoride and the like, or may be achieved by heating in an organic solvent such as acetone or hexane. In the case where separation of diazonium salt is difficult, the thermal decomposition may be conducted while adding a copper salt such as copper chloride or copper powder in the solution. Production Method 5

Alternatively, Compound 13 may be produced in the manner as described in Production method 5. Herein, R¹ are as defined, however, this also achieved in the case where R¹ is a methyl group as is a hydrogen atom. The protective group recited herein preferably designates an amino group or carbamoyl group although such protective group may be absent. That is, starting from a precursor, compound 13 wherein an amino group or its equivalent functional group and an active methyl group or an active methylene group are adjacent with each other on the aromatic ring, the amino group or its equivalent functional group is made into nitroso compound using a nitrite salt or nitrite ester, going through the reaction intermediate as described above, and then the intramolecular dehydration condensation with the adjoining active methyl group or methylene group in the presence of a suitable acid or base in the reaction system is carried out, to thereby lead pyrazole ring compound 8. As the reagent used for conversion into nitroso, nitrite salts or nitrite esters can be exemplified. Examples of nitrite esters include, but are not limited to, isoamyl nitrite ester and t-butyl nitrite ester, and examples of nitrite salts include sodium nitrite ester, potassium nitrite ester and the like. In particular, when a nitrite salt is used, a phase transfer catalyst such as crown ether may be used together. The use of the nitrite salt or nitrite ester is from 1 to 10 equivalent(s) with respect to the material. As the amino group or its equivalent functional group, amino groups such as acetamide are preferred without limitation, and in such a case, acetic anhydride is used as a solvent or present together in most general cases. General examples of the condensing reagent and base include, but are not limited to, sodium acetate and potassium acetate, and the use amount is usually from 1 to 10 equivalent (s). As the reaction solvent, any solvents besides acetic anhydrous can be used insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, however, by conducting the reaction in, for example, but are not limited to, hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, toluene or xylene, halogen solvents such as chloroform or 1,2-dichloroethane, dioxane, glacial acetic acid, as well as acidic solvents such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, it is possible to complete the condensation. The reaction temperature is from 0° C. to reflux temperature of the solvent.

From Production method 6 to Production method 12, Q designates a nitrogen atom, and at least one atom other than Q among atoms existing on the aromatic ring in which Q is involved designates —CH═. In this case, Q is a generic designation for Q¹ to Q⁴ in the above general formula (II) and means either 1, 2 or 3 from Q¹ to Q⁴. Production Method 6

After treating Halogenoketone compound 14 obtained by using Production method 1 and so on with a peroxide to lead it into N-oxide 15, a various kinds of reagents are caused to act on N-oxide 15, to thereby obtain compound 16 wherein a substituent is introduced onto a carbon atom around which no substitution occurs and hence generally having predominant orientation. As the functional group which can be introduced by using N-oxide as a starting material, a cyano group, halogen group, acyloxy group, alkoxy group and the like can be exemplified. The obtained compound 16 is made cyclic in accordance with Production method 1 using hydrazine, to thereby produce compound (II)-a.

In the method for leading compound 14 into N-oxide, for example, peroxides such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, benzoyl peroxide or hydrogen peroxide are used, and the use amount of peroxide is from 1 to 10 equivalent(s) with respect to the material. As the solvent, any solvents can be used insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, and examples of such solvent include, but are not limited to, halogen solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform or 1,2-dichloroethane, hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene and toluene, as well as water, acetic acid and the like. The reaction temperature is usually from 0° C. to reflux temperature of the solvent.

As shown in J. Org. Chem. 1983, 48, 1375, for example, the method of cyanizing the adjoining carbon atom by using N-oxide is achieved by causing the cyanizing reagent directly to act or causing the cyanizing reagent to act in the presence of acid chloride. Examples of reagent for direct cyanation include sodium prussiate, potassium prussiate, trimethylsilyl cyanide, diethylcyano phosphate and the like, and bases such as triethylamine or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]unde-7-cene may be present together in the reaction system. It is also possible to practice the above reaction with the cyanizing reagent in the presence of acid chloride, and examples of such acid chloride include benzoyl chloride, N,N-dimethyl, carbamoyl chloride and the like. As the solvent, any solvents can be used insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, and examples of which include, but are not limited to, halogen solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane and the like, and polar solvents such as acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylsulfuric acid and the like. The use amounts of cyanizing reagent, base and acid chloride are from 1 to 10 equivalent(s) with respect to the material. The reaction temperature is usually from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent.

Examples of the reagent for halogenating the adjoining carbon atom by using N-oxide include, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus oxybromide, benzoyl chloride, p-toluene sulfonyl chloride, ethyl chloroformate, trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride, thionyl chloride and the like. The reaction may be carried out in the presence or absence of solvent, and as such a solvent any solvents can be used insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, and examples of such solvent include, but are not limited to, halogen solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform or 1,2-dichloroethane, hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene or toluene, ether solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide and the like. The use amount of the solvent is from an equivalent with respect to the material to solvent amount. When the substrate is unstable to acid, a base such as triethylamine may coexist in the reaction system. The reaction temperature is usually from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent.

As the reagent for acyloxylation of the adjoining carbon atom of N-oxide, carboxylic anhydrides are usually used. The use amount is from an equivalent with respect to the material to solvent amount. The reaction temperature is usually from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent.

Alkoxylation of the adjoining carbon atom of N-oxide can be achieved by causing ethyl chloroformate, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride or the like to act in the presence of a base in alcohol. The use amount is from 1 to 10 equivalent(s) with respect to the material. As the base, metal alkoxides, triethylamine and the like are used, and the use amount is from 1 to 2 equivalent(s) with respect to the material. As the solvent, any solvents can be used without particular limitation insofar as they are not concerned with the reaction, however, it is general to conduct the reaction in a solvent of alcohol which corresponds to the alkoxy group intended to be introduced. The reaction temperature is usually from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent. Production Method 7

Introduction of functional group using the similar manner as described in Production method 6 is also applicable to the nitrogen-containing condensed pyrazole compound 17. That is, after oxidizing a desired nitrogen atom Q and leading into N-oxide by protecting the pyrazole ring of compound 17 and letting a peroxide act on compound 18, various kinds of reagents are made to act on the N-oxide so as to introduce a substituent into an adjoining carbon atom having predominant orientation. Then deprotection is conducted to produce Compound (II)-a.

Protection and Deprotection of a nitrogen-containing condensed pyrazole ring are achieved in the manner as described in Production method 3. The process of protection and deprotection of pyrazole ring may be eliminated from Production method, however, it is preferred to employ the process in consideration of yield and versatility. Production Method 8

In the reaction between N-oxide and various kinds of reagents as described in Production method 6, when it is difficult to directly introduce a functional group other than halogens into a carbon atom at a desired position because of orientation of the reaction regent, the functional group may be indirectly introduced to the desired position as is described in Production method 8. That is, as an alternative method of Production method 6, first compound 19 wherein a carbon atom at a position of predominant orientation is substituted with a halogen is obtained by halogenating N-oxide, then compound 20 wherein a functional group is introduced to a desired position in the similar manner as described in Production method 6 is obtained, and then compound 20 is dehalogenated by reduction, to afford objective intermediate 16. Compound 16 is then made cyclic with hydrazine in accordance with Production method 1, to there by obtain Compound (II).

In the similar manner as described in Production method 8, when it is difficult to directly introduce a functional group other than halogens into a carbon atom at a desired position because of orientation of the reaction regent acting on N-oxide, the similar way as described in Production method 8 can be generally applied to nitrogen-containing condensed pyrazole compounds. That is, after oxidizing compound 17 with a peroxide while protecting 1-position of pyrazole of compound 17 to lead N-oxide, the N-oxide is halogenated, thereby producing compound 21 of predominant orientation. Next, compound 21 is treated again with a peroxide and allowed to react with a suitable reagent so as to introduce a substituent to a carbon atom at a more desirable position, followed by dehalogenation and deprotection, to thereby produce Compound (II)-a.
